No. 181: Bitter Battle!
Robbie Keane, lying on the turf, buried his head in the slippery turf in pain, wasting a great one-knife ball, and he had no face to see.
Coach Jisandi Ramos bowed his head again in frustration and looked at his toes. There was a loud sigh from the north side of the court, and thunderous applause from the south side of the court!
Sky TV commentator Kent lamented: "Wolves played tough and never gave up, they are only a League One team but they deserve our respect. ”
In the VIP seat, he nodded again and again, and FA President Trisman shouted twice in a row, "Not bad!" ”。
Their own team was praised by the FA, and Morgan and Wenner had no pride in their eyes, and their hearts were as connected to Wolves as the fans.
Heavy and touching!
Kentin kicked the ball directly into the Tottenham half, and then he pulled up the nearest Craddock and the two hugged gently. The two silently high-fived Hennessey, who came on as a substitute, before jumping into a new fight.
With only ten minutes left in the game, the score on the pitch remained unchanged, and the Tottenham fans used loud shouts to drive away the despair in their hearts. Wolves fans cheered their soldiers up with their singing!
The intense competition drained the players' physical strength a lot, and people constantly fell to the ground and cramped. The coaches of both sides began to make changes, with Ramos replacing the more impactful Boateng and replacing Robbie Keane, who wasted a single goal. Soon after, he used a second substitution, replacing Berbatov with Defoe.
Ince replaced the limping and exhausted Craddock, who had only one substitution in his hands. He didn't plan to use up the quota now, he wanted to use it in a hurry.
With the passage of time, due to the physical exertion of both sides, mistakes appeared frequently. In the 36th minute of the second half, Kevin Foley crossed from the left, Peter's foot slipped and he didn't even kick the ball, wasting a golden opportunity to extend the score.
In the 39th minute, Tottenham took advantage of a passing error in the heart of the Wolves team to launch a quick counter-attack. Lennon crossed from the right, and Defoe, who was ambushed in the middle, leaned on Kending and pushed it with one shot!
It was a great chance to close the score, but he kicked it wide when he was close to it.
In the 41st minute, the Wolves midfielder made another mistake, and Jenas kicked directly into the Wolves penalty area!
Boateng and Kentin raced towards the football, and almost at the same time, the two were about to pull off from the ground. However, Kending slipped and fell on the turf, Boateng let out a loud roar, and a beautiful lion shook his head!
The soccer ball flies towards the top left corner of the goal!
Hennessey jumps!
Wolves had another accident, Hennessey couldn't fly because he slipped under his feet, and the football flew into the net!
The score became 1-2 and Tottenham narrowed the gap!
There were loud cheers on the north side of the pitch as they saw hope of an equaliser. Wolves fans are nervous, is it ......
Boateng, who had scored the goal, picked up the ball from the net and raced towards the midfield.
Sky TV commentator Kent exclaimed: "Tottenham pulled a goal back, they closed the gap!" With little time left, do they still have a chance? ”
The goal sparked Tottenham's fighting spirit, and Ramos walked out of the bench, stood in the command area, and yelled towards the pitch: "Attack! ”
With a slight frown, Ince called Kentin to the sidelines and told him to tell the players on the pitch to defend solidly and hold on for the last few minutes. At this time, there is no need to fight against the attack, and the best way to win is to defend to the death.
Wang Rui heard Ince's new instructions relayed by his teammates, and after thinking about it, he whispered a few words in Peter's ear. Peter gave him a puzzled look, then at Ince, who had been standing in the command area.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded towards Wang Rui.
The game restarted and Peter moved the ball to the back and Tottenham rushed forward like crazy. Peter didn't reclaim it, instead pushing towards the Tottenham half.
Under Tottenham's aggressive scramble, football soon came to the feet of Wang Rui, who had the best ball control skills in Wolves. Wang Rui didn't make too many adjustments, and directly kicked the ball in the air. The ball flew past the Tottenham backline towards the Tottenham hinterland, with Peter and the two Tottenham centre-backs heading towards the ball.
In the middle of the two, Peter couldn't stop the ball and the ball moved to Tottenham's feet.
Counterattack!
The Tottenham centre-back did not hesitate and threw a big kick directly into the Wolves half, and the two teams engaged in a fierce battle in midfield. Wolves midfielder Jubal and Tottenham midfielder Jenas both fell to the ground, but the referee did not blow the whistle, and Tottenham striker Boateng quickly attacked after taking the ball!
He flashed past another Wolves midfielder and fired a long-range shot from 30 yards out!
The ball whistled like a cannonball towards the top right corner of the goal!
The whole stadium lost its voice, and everyone's eyes were glued to the football, maybe this ball would change the fate of both sides!
Hennessey leaped, this time he didn't fall, his left arm was stretched to the extreme, and he was going to pounce!
The next moment, his left index finger touched the football with difficulty, and the football changed direction slightly and continued to move forward. There was desperation in Hennessey's eyes, and he had done his best.
"Pong! ......" with a loud bang, and the football hits the beam!
Then the ball flew off the line.
The hope in the eyes of Tottenham fans quickly faded, and Wolves fans congratulated themselves with applause!
Sky TV commentator Kent lamented: "The god of fate is on the side of the wolves!" ”
Hennessey got up from the turf and hugged the goal and kissed it twice. Tottenham striker Defoe puts football on the Wolves goal line and knows every minute and second counts for Tottenham.
Time was fast ticking and Tottenham had to make a last-ditch come, with the exception of centre-back Dawson standing on the half-time.
Tottenham are pouring out!
Peter didn't back down, he was standing not far from Dawson. The fourth official held up the electronic display - four minutes of stoppage time. That said, there were only four minutes left for Tottenham to equalise.
The whole stadium was plunged into unprecedented tension, the suffocating air almost froze, and in the four minutes that decided the championship, the two sides were only one goal apart, and anything could happen.
Wang Rui exhaled, and he felt that his physical strength had been exhausted.
Hang on!
Hold on for another four minutes and the victory will be ours!
In the second minute of stoppage time, Lee Young-pyo stepped forward to assist and made a cross to pass the football to Lennon in the middle. An orange figure stepped forward, leaned his right shoulder, and slammed into Lennon.
Lennon stood firmly, did not move half a minute!
Jubar and Lennon wrestle as the ball rolls between Jubar's outstretched legs. Wang Rui, who was ambushed behind Jubar, took a step forward alertly, pushed the football with his right foot, and dodged Janas!
Ridley on the right side of Wang Rui. As soon as Kim's center of gravity drops, he wants to destroy it with a tackle!
Wang Rui gritted his teeth, squeezed the last trace of energy in his body, and swung his right leg forward, he wanted to seize this fleeting opportunity to send the football in front of Peter.
"Smack! ......", Wang Rui's right foot kicked under the football, and the football began to take off.
At the moment, Ridley. Jin's right foot has already come, and if Wang Rui still has the physical fitness, he can take a light leap and dodge his right foot. But at this moment, he could only watch as the right foot kicked on the instep of his left foot.
"Ahh ......" screamed, and Wang Rui fell to the turf.
In the stands behind the Wolves bench, Lytis looked at Wang Rui who fell to the turf with a pair of beautiful eyes, revealing pain.
At this moment, Tottenham central defender Dawson's face changed, according to his prediction, the football landed ten meters behind him, so he immediately turned to chase the ball. At this moment, an orange figure flew past him like lightning!
Dawson's face sank, and he stretched out his left hand to pull the orange lightning bolt. Since it was lightning, it contained great energy, and Peter slammed it!
Dawson stumbled and fell after three steps!
The stadium was in an uproar!
Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy Keogh yelled: "Single! ”
Sky TV commentator Kent exclaimed: "Tottenham are pouring out of the nest to fight for a goal and equalise. However, they were defenseless in the back, and the king's pass hit their soft underbelly!
Tottenham are in danger! ”
"It's over!"
Tottenham fans shook their heads in pain as they looked at Peter as he raced towards the football. The Wolves fan covered his mouth nervously, Peter, you must shoot the ball in!
However, Saini did not give up, he rushed out of the box to transform into a fifth defender!
The soccer ball landed on the turf, making a muddy splash, and the two men got closer and closer to the soccer ball. At a distance of only one meter from the football, Peter suddenly jumped up and gently padded his right foot under the football!
Football rises sharply!
Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy Keogh yelled: "Shoot! ”
Despair appeared in the eyes of Seni as he burst out of the penalty area, and the ball flew over his head!
Wembley Stadium is not Molinox Stadium, the quality of the turf is very good, and the football does not stop somewhere in front of the goal, bouncing into the net!
Wolverhampton TV football commentator Andy Keogh shouted in a hoarse voice: "The ball is in!" Entered! Entered! Entered! ……”
"The score became three to one! No one can stop Wolves from winning the title! ”
"Twenty-eight years! Twenty-eight years later, Wolves finally tasted the championship! ”
His voice was choked.
More than 200 kilometres away, Wolverhampton City fans watched TV, listened to Andy Keogh's choked voice, and wept with joy, leaving tears of happiness and pride......
Wembley Stadium, South Stand, let out a heart-rending, hysterical roar two seconds after Peter's goal......
Once again, the north stands fell into a deathly silence, and some fans shed tears of sadness......
Peter, the scorer, did not run all over the field, but gasped and collapsed on the turf. The attack just now made him consume all his energy. The rest of the Wolves team howled and rushed towards Peter......
Tottenham players were desperate, many pitches fell directly on the turf, two goals, and less than three minutes remained......
The Wolves bench rushed in and out and they knew the value of the goal. Ince and his coaching staff hugged each other tightly, and after 28 years, Wolves finally had a chance to win the League Cup!
